So yeah I can't seem to upload an image of any size anywhere.

I am connecting through mtnl wifi.Even set up a static ip with google dns on the android.Don't know if that is necessary or not.

Anyone know whats wrong ?

Upload isn't working? Tenida of this forum was having the same issue, he changed his router which solved his problem.

Yes I can browse fine.

Installed speedtest app.It does the download test but after that it just fails to upload.Same with any other app.It just doesn't upload.

And about the encapsulation part,Is this what you are talking about ?

I fixed it by changing the MTU value back to default '0'.I can upload properly from the android now.

But isn't 1500 the optimal value ?

In BSNL its 1492, try: Max MTU: How do I find mine? Tweaking FAQ | DSLReports.com, ISP Information
